Document "Is my PXI card hybrid slot compatible?"

Hi, I would like to ask for some clarification and make a suggestion for Document 4S3F9Q9G, "Is my PXI Card Hybrid Slot Compatible (PXIe-Ready)". In this document, there is a series of statements about the compatibility of various card types with various slot types.
Link: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/50C189CF7BF8884B86257515007184F4
I know that the document only intends to say whether any type of card is compatible with a PXI Hybrid Slot, it almost answers the question of what all cards are compatible with what all slots, which is the more general question I am trying to answer as I try to juggle devices and chassises.
Knowing basically nothing about the PXI standards, I attempted to produce a compatibility matrix from these statements alone, and I'd like to see if I arrived at the correct conclusions. I'm not sure if I used the conventional nomenclature, but it should be clear from the statements why I used those terms. See the attached PDF.
There are the pictures at the bottom where you can play a game of hocus focus to figure out which cards fit in which slots, but I think it would be much clearer with a matrix.
So my suggestions for the document are:
add/edit the statements provide information about "blank" cells
add a completed compatibility matrix for quick reference.
Indicate on the matrix, or reference, the standard symbols indicating slot types, used below the slots of a PXI chassis
Thanks,

Great to hear that it looks correct.  I assume that you mean that I have not introduced any erroneous information.  
But the reason that I submitted this message here, rather than directly on the page, is because I believe that my matrix is incomplete, and so I was hoping for some expert feedback on that and a quick commentary about why.
For example:
- Will the PXI system timing slot accept standard connector PXI cards, 32-bit compactpci cards, or hybrid compatible cards?
- Is it possible to plug a PXI standard connector module into a PXI hybrid slot?
Just for completeness, the text and matrix don't answer these questions, but I don't actually care about them.
- Is it possible to plug a PXI system timing module into a PXI hybrid slot?
- Will a standard PXI slot accept system timing cards, 32-bit compact pci cards, or hybrid compatible cards?

  • Why are my PXI cards not recognized by Windows or MAX?

    I have a PXI-1045 chassis connected to a PC through MXI-4.  When I turn the chassis and PC on with a PXI card in slot 2, the message "Windows could not load the installer for DAQDevice.  Contact your hardware vendor for assistance." appears, and the PXI card is not recognized (it is scene by Windows as an unidentifiable PCI Devices, though I have a DAQmx installed).
    More details:
    Windows XP
    LabVIEW 8.0 installed
    TestStand 4.0 installed
    Latest DAQmx 8.XX installed
    NI Scope installed
    NI CAN installed
    MXI-4 PCI card installed in PC and recognized by Windows (as PCI-PCI bridge, and MXI-4 Device)
    I identified PXI chassis 1045 in MAX and on subsequent boot up saw that MAX complained about pxisys or some other ini file (in the chassis status area of the screen) so I configured it as 'other' then put in the PXI-resorce CD and selected the ini file for PXI-1045, MAX no longer complains about pxisys and instead says the chassis is configured properly
    If I have nothing but the PXI MXI-4 card installed in the PXI system and boot up the chassis then the PC, I get no errors
    If I have a card in slot two (I've tried PXI-6509 Industrial Digital IO, PXI-2569 Relay Module, and PXI-5102 Digital Oscilliscope) and boot the chassis then PC, the message "Windows could not load the installer for DAQDevice.  Contact your hardware vendor for assistance." shows up when Windows boots and Windows sees a PCI Device but can't identify any drivers for it. 

    Hello,
    Can you post a screenshot of the problem? Are you switching on the chassis first or the PC? Please make sure that you switch ON chassis and then boot the PC. This typically happens when you have a corrupted installation.  I would suggest downloading the latest version of driver from here and re-installing it.
    Please uninstall all the driver software from computer before installing the new software.

  • Would a PXIe card work in PXI chassis?

    Hi,
    I planned to add another 4472B to the existing PXI chassis but noticed that PXIe 4492 is recommended to replace 4472B. I am wondering if PXIe 4492 would work in a PXI chassis (PXI-1056).
    Thanks!
    XR

    The PXI and PXIe have different connectors.  So the short answer is "no".  If you had a PXI chassis with hybrid slots, either PXI or PXIe cards could go in those slots.

  • Leap and Radius! Other brand cards that are compatible

    Our network guys are fixing to build a wireless network with the Cisco Leap and a Radius server for authenticity. I need to know if Cisco is going to make a wireless card for the Compact Flash slot. I have some Tablets and PDA's I would like to use but the don't have PCMCIA slots. If not are there other companys that have wireless cards that are compatible with this authenticity. I am currently working with Symbol Technologies. They say their card will work with this authenticity. The only authenticity I see in the settings on this card is for Kerbos. Does Kerbos work with a Radius server? If not can they build a Kerbos server to be a second way of authenticating the user on the wireless network?

    When symbol says their CF card will work within the LEAP architecture, they likely mean using MAC authentication. While it is possible to run LEAP and MAC authentication concurrently, it does significantly weaken the security provided by LEAP alone. It is relatively easy to capture and spoof a MAC address that is valid using simple tools.
    Symbol has recently licensed the LEAP architecture from Cisco, but does not yet have any products available supporting this. I have not heard of specific plans for supporting LEAP on their CF product.
    Symbol is, however, your best hope for CF/LEAP support. They are partnering with Cisco and, as stated earlier, they have already licensed the LEAP architecture.
    Cisco's current product line will not support the Symbol Kerberos security mechanism (at least not in any way I've seen).

  • Pxi cards on 1000b cahssis not detected under windows 98

    my mxi-3 card is being detected on windows startup (mxi-3 optimization software is running correctly) but all other pxi cards on my 1000b pxi chassis are not detected.

    Anis,
    Well, I always prefer to try the simplest things first. In this case, that would be fully powering down the chassis and the computer. Then powering on the chassis first, and a few seconds later, powering on the computer. If this doesn't help, then you would probably want to try any or all of the following troubleshooting steps to try and isolate the problem:
    - Try removing all but the mxi-3 and one other card from chassis and then try booting up.
    - Try placing the pci mxi-3 card in a different slot in the computer.
    - Try uninstalling and reinstalling all the NI software on your computer. (better yet, format and reinstall).
    - Try the pci mxi-3 card in a different computer.
    - Try a different set of mxi-3 cards (if available)
    - Check
    device manager to see if there are any errors or warnings.
    So those are the things that I would try. If after all that you still have no luck connecting you may have a hardware problem and need to RMA (Return Materials Authorization) your hardware.
    Please post back with what you find.

  • Measurement and Automation cannot find PXI cards

    When I run Measurement and Automation and look at Devices & Interfaces I get the 'MAX Database Connection Error'.  I have followed the steps to 'uncorrupt' the database, but I can not go any further than to finding out that no such file or folder exists.
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\MAX\Data Dictionaries\Last
    When I look for this location I find that the MAX folder does not exist.
    How do I procede?  Are there otherways I can make Devices and Interfaces show me which PXI cards I have?
    Thanks,

    Hey Atomless
    I am sure you look at this KB. You did try everything and it is still not detecting any hardware. I was wondering if you have installed all the required drivers. If you do not know what driver to install, go ahead and post what type of hardware you have and then I can tell you what driver you need.

  • How to remove SD Card from the Card Reader slot - Satellite A100?

    Hi,
    Is there anyone to help me? I inserted a 64 MB SD card in the card reader slot of my Toshiba A100 model. It's the first time i have inserted the card. The card is inside the slot. I can not take it out! I don't have any idea how to remove the card from the card reader slot. I can see the contents of my SD card, can open the files too. But how to remove it out from the slot. Please help me giving your idea to remove the card out from the slot.
    Arjun

    Hi
    In my knowledge the SD card slot doesnt has a any additional helps like the PCMCIA slot to remove the card.
    You have to remove it simply. Try to grab the card and move it out. You can try to use the pair of tweezers. Maybe it helps

  • I am unable to insert the Memory Stick into the card reader slot on my HP 7510

    I have three Photosmart 7510's (C311a)  and one Photosmart Premier (C310a).  All of these printers have the identical Card Reader slot on the lower, left front corner.  ALL four printers will not accept a standard Sony Memory Stick from my Sony digital camera.  In all cases, the slot has two layers for "DUO  SD  MMC" chips and each will accept the "Sony Memory Stick Duo" without the silver and white MSAC-M2 Adaptor.  No matter what I try, the Memory Sticks will not even start to go into the slot.  I have looked into the slots with a fiber=optic flashlight attachment and there appears to be no issues -- except, possibly, the separator between the upper and lower part of the two-slot opening, is a little above center in the opening.  Sitting in front of the 7510, I can look into the slot and see a white or very light gray surface that is sided to side across the opening, just inside the opening.  When I get down and look into the slot at about a 'flat' angle, the white surface does appear to be just high enough that it partially obstructs the lower slot -- all the way across the slot.
    I have tried four Memory Sticks and two Memory Stick Duo's, with and without adaptor.  NOTE that the Memory Stick DUO, when NOT in the adaptor, will fit right into the upper part of the slot.  However, with the Memory Stick Duo in its adaptor, and all the other Memory Sticks I have, none of them will start inot the upper or lower 'bay' in the slot opening.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    I think I will declare this discussion closed.  In an earlier post I said I would need to keep working at this problem until I seized up the right setting.  Well for my 1080ii XDCAM EX 35 timeline, I have alredy tried a number of settings.  The source WWV is 1280x720.  The problem is stuttering video losing every other frame, audio popping or audio continuously losing a greater amount of sync.  I tried APPLE TV 1280x720 in Compressonr (I'm still making more, not all have been tested.)  The Apple TV h.264 works.  It has to be rendered.  I know some will say that's not optimal.  I have put a lot of time into this with no other good results so I'm accepting this for now.  I might be cooking up another right now in Compressor that will work better.  Thanks to the posters.

  • I cannot open iMovie - it says I need a "Graphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme" I know this is wrong- Have iMovie version 9.0.4, regularly use it and have not had this problem before

    Details: On my MacBook Pro, I have MacOS X 10.6.8, a 2.26 GHz IntelCore Duo processor with 4 GB 1067 MHz DOR 3 Memory.
    I have iMovie Version 9.0.4, which I apparently updated inJuly.  I regularly used iMovie, and last used it about 3 weeks ago.  However, Today, when I try to get into iMovie, I get thefollowing message:
    “Quartz extreme Required  iMovie requires agraphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme.  One or more of your graphics cards does ntosupport Quartz Extreme.”
    So, I cannot get into my iMovie.  I know the “Quartz Extreme” message ismistaken.  WHAT DO I DO?

    I would recommend that you turn off and restart your Mac. That should clear it up.

  • Which is better, many PXI cards or fewer PXI cards with more SCXI cards?

    I have a pretty basic question.  Which is "better", using multiple PXI cards for analog inputs or a single PXI card and multiple SCXI cards?  For example, if I have say 100 channels to sample (all at the same rate), I could use 2 6225s at 80 ch each.  Or I could use 1 6220 and 4 SCXI 1100s (32 ch each).  What are the pros and cons with either approach?  Keep in mind sample rate probably isn't an issue (less than 1 kHz) but it is the same for all channels.
    Thanks.

    The pros/cons will depend on your application now and in the future.  I recommend contacting your local NI sales representative.  Synchronizing across a PXI system is easy to do via the backplane.  There are PXI/SCXI combo chassis available, you could use PXI multifunction DAQ cards and then SCC for signal conditioning for thermocouples for additional functionality later.  There are many possibilities that may be best discussed with your sales representative.

  • How to alternate data storage into 2 arrays with an analog square wave input? (seems that the retriggera​ble function is not supported by my PXI card)

    Hi!  
    I'm trying to have an analog square wave input determine where data gathered from a second analog input channel is stored.  I want data to be stored to one array during the high signal period of the square wave and data to be store to another array during the low signal period of the square wave.  The square wave I'm using is of constant frequency (8.3 Hz).  I believe I need to use an analog input wave as opposed to a onboard clock or other timing mechanism because my square wave is also being used to modify the input going into my experimental setup.  Thus the data storage needs to be correlated to the timing of the data modification in the experiment.  I tried to use the retriggerable property node function, but receive error 200452, which I think means that my PXI card (6115) can't support this retriggerable function.  So I'm looking for other ways to accomplish alternating data storage in response to an incoming analog square wave.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated... Thanks!  (I'm also quite new with LabView so toddler-type explanations would probably be most useful  )

    Hello Shari,
          I am looking at your situation and it seems very intriguing.  after downloading your file I have a couple questions to ask if you don't mind answering.
          Currently in your program you are only taking one sample of data at a time,  this could lead to uneven sampling.  Would you like to sample at a consistent rate  (say 10 Kilosamples of data a second?)  if so what type of card are you using?
          Also,  Do you want your data to be in a 2-D array of data?
    Best Wishes,

  • Installati​on of third party PXI Card supplied by Chroma

    The problem is that I get the initialization error while I install the PXI-52911
    The installation process done during installation is as follows.
    1 I have installed LAB View 6.1 in the PXI Controller without the PXI 52911card
    The NI Daq version is NI DAQ � 6.9.2f4,
    The NI VISA 2.6.0
    IVI Engine 1.83 version.
    2 After installing the Lab view software I have installed the Latest driver software downloaded from FTP site.
    3 Then I have installed the PXI Card and it got detected in the system.
    4. When I checked in the NI VISA the details were as shown below.
    5. After checking this I tried in the software Given by the supplier . I get an error as displayed below.
    In this regard pl
    ease let me know what as to how this problem can be solved.

    Hi Suresh,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments. It sounds to me like there are three possible problems.
    First, it is possible that there is a configuration problem with VISA. According to Chroma's webpage, this device does use NI-VISA. If this is true, the device should be listed in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) under PXI System when it is properly installed and configured. If this device is not listed in MAX, then we need to make sure VISA is configured to recognize your device. In MAX, select the Tools menu, and select NI-VISA, VISA Options. Select VISA Passports, and make sure there is a checkmark next to "nivipxi.dll - VISA library passport for PXI." Now, select VISA settings and make sure the option to "Show all PXI/PCI Devices
    accessible to VISA" is enabled.
    Second, it is possible that NI-VISA or the software for your PXI card is corrupt. I suggest you uninstall your PXI device, NI-VISA, and the software for your PXI device. Once your system is clean, I recommend you reinstall NI-VISA, NI-IVI, and the instrument drivers for your PXI device. Once all of the software is installed, then you can reinstall the hardware.
    I hope that helps. If that does not solve your problem, I will try to help you as much as I can, but it may be necessary to contact Chroma.

  • Inbuilt speakers, microphone & SD card reader slot is not working from day one

    Dear friend
    I bought my HP mini (model no. Hp Mini 110-3009TU; Sr. No. CNC02139GY) on 14th august 2010 from Home Comforts, MP Nagar Bhaopl, Madhya Pradesh, India. I bought it without any operating system and installed Linux [Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)] on it. I'd like to inform you that it has two problems form day one.
    First problem is with inbuilt speakers & microphone, which are not functioning. However my headphone are working with this laptop. So I believe there is no problem with sound related driver. I think it is a hardware problem.
    Second problem is in SD card reader slot, which doesn't read inserted SD card.
    I've gone to HP service centre situated in MP Nagar, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Experts over there said that they'll have to formate existing operating system (Linux) and need to install Windows to 'check' whether the said hardware(speakers, microphone & SD card reader) are working or not. Otherwise I've to bring one more laptop so same brand and same model, then only they can check by replacing parts.
    Both the options they'd given were ridiculous! I didn't understood why they are forcing me to install Windows?
    If HP is also selling laptops without any operating system, then it means the costumer is free to install any operating system of his/her choice. And why should I bring one more laptop? Doesn't your service centre equipped with proper instruments and expertise to check hardware of a laptop?
    Pretty girls working in your service centre were totally unaware of card reader – how does it functions?
    Even they didn't had any SD card to insert and check.
    One among them told me in soft voice: “Sir, you'll have to purchase one 'Jack' for this.” When I inquired further what is 'Jack' and why should I have to purchase it when all other laptops doesn't need such jack? She gone mute as my inbuilt speakers.
    Even if I do allow your service centre to install Windows to try out whether speakers, microphone and card reader is working or not, its sure 'experts' at your service centre will install pirated version of Windows. Is it not a malpractice? Does HP allow its service centre to do so??
    And further, even if I ignore your malfunctioning for my benefit, could your service centre assure me that inbuilt speakers, microphone and card reader will function properly in Linux as well. Because I would like to continue using Linux.
    I request you to look into the matter and tell me what to do.
    regards,

    Anyone know how much it typically costs to replace the card reader hardware? Mine isn't reading, however I reason to believe the hardware was damaged.
